.... The dogs surround the bear and attempt to bite the testicles, the bear will sit to protect his balls and wheel around on his ass to fight the dogs...
I read about an old Inuit who preferred the 22 magnum for polar bears. Would shoot it in the lungs broadside. The bear would barely react to the hit and just continue along, then the lungs would collapse and the bear will keel over. Just takes time.
But the testicle biting dog story is way better.![]()
How did we get onto polar bears with .22's and moose neck snapping?
I thought this thread was about how inadequate a 45/70 is to kill a bear!

That's easy for us folks that have hunted & target shot with with it for many years and just plain love the chambering. They be many good reasons the 45-70 has been with us for 144 yrs. Its' a sweetheart of a round to work with when one gets "magnumitis" out of their beans. It'll keep on doing the job for many years yet on the big & small stuff.

I think we've actually shown that the 45/70 is overkill, at least for those of us with balls.![]()
Guess to be fair I'm hunting with a paperclip.
More bullshyte bravado right there....... you are hunting with a paperclip and an elastic... absolutely deadly....![]()
I thought I would just take a rear naked choke and insert it through the ear.
Hell, I just figured you would Indian leg wrestle them for dominance and they would surrender..... I would.....
I have four 45-70's...
Load from 250gr - 550gr...
I know the round and I know what it can do...
Those that are spewing against it have probably no experience with it...
If you have experience you know what it can do and wouldn't hesitate to use it on grizzly...
Just saying...
I worked remote wilderness areas in BC for 7 years every year I applied for a grizzly tag I got a grizzly tag...
Someone has to be the Alpha and someone has to be the Beta... no need to explain it further...
That's just crazy talk.![]()
Something similar... tend to drag them behind on a poplar pole litter, tied off to my belt loops...
